Looks like you don't have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UBD enabled.
If you didn't start with a defconfig when you built UML, you should start
over with a defconfig.

I'm running user-mode-linux_2.6.16-1um-1_i386 from the Debian Etch
archive. If it's broken for me, then it should be broken for everyone
using the Debian testing branch.
I just popped over to the Debian bug tracking pages, and couldn't find
anything on this package at all. So, I guess mine will be the first bug
report, and I'll have to rebuild the UML kernel from scratch. *sigh*
Thanks for the help.

You're right. I made that error, although the UML kernel is supposed to
catch that and transpose. But I still have the problem even after fixing
the typos.

This may be a problem with the Debian binary. See my reply to Jeff in a
moment.

Herm... than it's a problem with debian's binary: it has isofs as
modules and didn't build initrd support.
I'm testing the new package right now, I'll upload it by tomorrow.
Sorry...

Thanks for looking into this. FWIW, I just filed a Debian bug report.
Let me know if you need me to email you the bug-tracking number off-list
once it's been assigned.
